Tormented by conflicting memories, Morlac is at war against his own nature as much as the multitude of enemies he faces in his homeland and beyond. Searching for his own identity as well as for the sorcerer who abandoned him, Morlac encounters new friends, dangerous enemies, many exotic lands and supernatural terrors. Morlac is involved in a romantic triangle with the Green Magician's daughter, Kadrana, as beautiful as she is dangerous, and Glendauna, a young woman Morlac later meets who is a Durkesh Warrior with a dark secret of her own.
MORLAC is a highly original novel with plenty of action, humor, and romance. Its compelling narrative and highly visual style will appeal to fans of Robert E. Howard's “Conan.” At 125,000 words and comprised of three connected “books,” its scope and range of high adventure is truly “epic” in nature. Originally published by NAL/Signet Books, it has never been available as an eBook...until now!
“Gary Alan Ruse has reversed a modern publishing trend by providing an entire trilogy in one volume. Ruse writes with a lively yet remarkably descriptive style that is highly readable without being unsophisticated. To put it another way, the flavor of the text makes it clear that while Morlac has far more brawn than intellect, the same isn't true of Ruse. Though the novel is unquestionably light reading, the level of craftsmanship is considerably higher than might be expected in that category.”
